First Concord Death Cafe
A write up of Death Cafe Concord CA
By Lauriem
Our Death Cafe was held on Saturday, Feb 8. Six people attended, including the host and two who found us on the Death Cafe website. We had a range of ages from 23 to 60+, which made for a very deep and interesting sharing of perspectives. Topics covered included caring for aging parents, perspectives on grief, how to handle death as a professional from the perspective of a retired nurse, nursing student and social worker. We discussed medical aid in dying, the role of hospice vs. medical intervention. We also discussed the importance of thinking about our death as early as possible to enable better decision-making during critical times. It was a warm, friendly and supportive group. We will hold another Death Cafe in March.
